Without scolding you....

If your '81 vanagon is originally from California, it will have electronic
ignition, in which case you only have a cap and rotor as maintenance
items. Chances are, you are looking at the Hall Effect unit that
effectively replaced points and condenser as a method of signaling the
coil to fire.
